Stingley PTO Minutes 12/12/19
1. President's Report: a. Trunk or Treat was very well attended! Shared thoughts for next year. b. Looking into scheduling a Stingley Night at Ninjobstacles. c. Box Tops so far this year ~$483 raised. Keep scanning and clipping! d. Raising Canes ~$70 raised. e. McTeacher's Night ~$380 raised. Thank you to all who participated. f. Thank you for supporting our PTO Candles & Jams sale! $8,073 raised!
2. Principal's Remarks/Requests: a. Lighting Project - all of the overhead lights in our building were replaced this fall with LED lights which will be a big costs savings. They are brighter, quieter and can be adjusted and dimmed by teachers for optimal lighting in the classroom.
b. MAP testing - our district piloted a mid-year MAP test so that teachers can understand what students have learned and what they need extra help with, while there is still time in the school year to adjust focus areas for students.
c. Sound System - our current A/V system which is ported around as needed (gym, cafe, outside) is very old and failing. It is used every Fri in our community meeting by students and teachers, during assemblies, performances and other programs. We are researching options and obtaining quotes on a phased project to purchase and install an updated system.
3. Treasurer's Report & set budget for the year: Reviewed budget, inflows and outflows
4. Committee Chair Reports: a. Spring Fling Chair, Daphne Warner, will hold a planning meeting in Jan for all volunteers. Event date: Saturday, March 7th 1:00-3:00 PM
b. Hospitality: Planned a light lunch for teachers on 12/20 (Amanda), birthday treats in Jan (Jessie). Discussed recess duty volunteers and other teacher appreciation ideas for the 2nd half of the year.
d. Spiritwear: Planned a winter sale starting in mid/late Feb (Jessie).
Restaurant Nights: City BBQ: 12/17 ALL DAY
